"Chad and his crew were absolutely amazing. From the first sales call, until the last nail of completion, I knew we could count on him. He had been referred, and we immediately felt comfortable with Chad, as he patiently explained the value in a significant undertaking - this roof will be there another 200 years, the quality is just that good! The work was on-time, professional, and the crew did a great job of cleaning up when they are done. We plan to use Metal Roofs Direct for other roofs when the time comes!"
"Review of Valley Exteriors, (Roofing Division) I was initially contacted by Simon Nielsen (Estimator - work no. 920-809-7600) and received an all inclusive, formal, and competitive quote. Simon was very professional and courteous. A crew of six workers showed up on time (Oscarâ s Crew) and immediately began hanging nets and tarps to protect the house and lawn. They proceeded to remove two layers of old roofing while loading the discarded shingles into a large trailer for disposal. The new roof install started with the install of new drip edge/gutter apron over a synthetic felt. This was followed by a universal starter strip, and an ice & water shield (2 rows) around the perimeter. The roof vents were removed and holes patched followed by an all new ridge vent installed across the top of the roof. The GAF HDZ Architectural shingles are a stunning look and I now have the most attractive roof in the neighborhood!!! Thanks to Oscarâ s Crew, Simon, Darlene, and Martin. I highly recommend Valley Exteriors Thanks, Dan (Home Owner)"
"The roofing team did a good job replacing my roof, protected my gutters and plants. The job site was cleaned and they took extra time making sure all the nails were picked up at the end of the day. Nice job was done."
"FLASH roofing provided a free roofing inspection for us after the July hailstorm. They were prompt and professional, and they didn't pressure us at all. I found them to be very friendly and honest! They also provided a representative the day the insurance adjuster came which was really helpful to us being unfamiliar with how to handle a claim. I would definitely recommend FLASH to everyone in Wisconsin!"
"Bryan is very professional and cares about his customers!! He's an expert in the services he provides, and was very patient with answering all my questions. He puts a lot of pride in the quality of products he sells and the team he has completing the project. I will recommend Bryan and his team to anyone needing roofing services!!"

Though roof coatings can last up to two decades, it’s a good idea to recoat your roof every four to six years. This is especially important if you have a built-up roof, which is vulnerable to moisture issues. Inspect your built-up roofs annually to make sure they don’t need a new coat.
The size of the dumpster will determine how many squares of shingles can fit in a dumpster. You can place between 4 to 20 squares of shingles in most standard containers.
There should be small gaps between your roof and the walls of your home, and other buildings. These small gaps let building materials shift, expand, and contract with weather and other outside forces, and they prevent moisture from wicking down walls from roofing and gutter systems. Without these strategic gaps, your home’s exterior and its finishes can sustain water damage, decay, peel, delaminate, and crack. However, there is a fine line between a smart gap and a problematic gap—all gaps should be small, intentional, and covered or filled in with foam insulation to prevent pests from using them as access points.
Tile roofing is durable, fire-resistant, and energy-efficient. It also adds aesthetic appeal and, with proper maintenance, can last 50-100 years.
In some cases, yes, you can put a second roof layer over architectural shingles, but it depends on your home’s structural stability and the local building codes where you live. Architectural shingles are thicker and heavier than standard asphalt shingles, so you may need structural reinforcement or a structural engineer’s inspection before proceeding. Additionally, some building departments don’t allow for two roof layers, regardless of the roof type. You should ask a professional if ripping the old roof off before installing the new one is the best option for you.
